Very cute Tsugu, always a fan of her white pantyhose, black loafers, and pale skin. The gun looks huge in her tiny hands.

That's a Johnson Automatic Rifle, a lesser known light machinegun used by the US Marines in the Pacific theater during WW2. Had some quirks to its design, but it was fairly well liked. Designed by Melvin Johnson, he devised a style of rotating bolt with the locking lugs aligned radially around the head of the bolt, looking like a star or a cog wheel from the front, this was used in both his semi-automatic military rifle and the machinegun.
Melvin Johnson would later work together with Eugene Stoner at the company ArmaLite, where he insisted that this was the best style of rotating bolt, and that Eugene should use it for the rifles he was designing himself, and so he did. While they all functioned very differently otherwise, the locking mechanism on the AR10, and then the later AR15/M16 and AR18, are all exactly the same.
